Hey, I’m Jack. Travel is my passion. I particularly love to load up the car with camping gear and get out into nature. I love outdoor sports, and if I can combine them with traveling, I’m a happy happy man. My road trip highlight was driving an old sedan 6000km through South America. I enjoy sharing road trip tips I’ve learned from my adventures and writing travel guides on places I’ve visited.
